A woman who has been abandoned by her husband of many years finds, well, the frog prince. And takes him home to her real life. Partly about the importance of telling stories and the truth that we bury within them, Fair Peril is also very entertaining. The serious things Springer says are serious, but they sneak up on you in almost the same way a serious conversation with an old friend sometimes comes out of a pleasant afternoon of catch-up gossip. Not preachy, Fair Peril is funny: It has a very wry humour and a wit and silliness that, combined with everything else, make it a delightful must-read.
